The Cardigans & Tom Jones - "Burning Down the House" - I'm a Talking Heads fan, and this is a pretty decent cover. I like the contrast between Nina Persson's soft voice and the bombastic voice of Tom Jones. Plus Nina is nice to look at.

When did this happen? That sounds amazing! Tom Jones is THE sh--I mean, poop.

Looks like it was on an 1999 Tom Jones album called Reload. I guess it is an album of collaborative covers I don't think I had heard of it either until a few months ago. I was looking up Cardigans videos and saw "Burning Down the House." I hadn't heard it, so I took a look, and was surprised when Tom Jones appeared in it. At first I was disappointed by that (mainly because I just expecting to see The Cardigans), but as I listened I realized it worked really well.
